May we never forget just how radical these words were in 1776.
Charles 1 was executed in 1649. The Revolution was a continuation of what started in Britain 100+ years earlier. Even the constitution was basically just codifying what was won in the previous 100 years in Britain. I guess you could call it radical, but to say the United States emerged from a vacuum is kinda ignorant.

The "Ransom" doctrine makes no sense. Not the Witness interpretation nor mainstream Christianity's.
According to scripture he was dead for 3 days. So the "sacrifice" was giving up a long weekend. Then, if one is a trinitarian, it becomes even more nonsensical. He sacrificed himself to himself to save humanity from himself.There may or may not have been some person in Palestine who preached the admirable things that Jesus was said to have said. But countless human beings throughout history have been tortured and executed, who didn't have the comfort of being an immortal deity. (assuming you believe that part of the story).

Just because the Earth is warming up is no evidence that life is going to end.
I've never seen a claim that "life is going to end". Life bounced back from the Chicxulub Asteroid. Eventually.
Life will carry on just fine. May cause serious misery for human beings, though. -

One large volcano eruption produces more CO2 than the total of man's contribution.
While it's erupting it may match or exceed human output during the hours or days of the eruption. That does not mean it matches or exceeds human output over the entire year or century. That part always gets left out or possibly misunderstood when the volcano argument gets trotted out. -

Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!
by Simon ini know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

My construction company supported an orphan kids ministry in Ukraine for years. It was very fulfilling writing those checks. Sometimes it was nice just to sit and imagine how some kid benefitted.
In the end, probably benefited about as well as "Violeta" and "Juan" benefited from these commercials: -

Chopping up just-delivered babies is simply sick and evil and anyone pushing for it should be investigated. Anyone who's done it for a non-medical reason should face the death penalty.
I dont disagree with this. But every government statistic i've found states that less than 1% of abortions take place after 21 weeks and usually for medical reasons. The idea that lots of women reach 9 months and suddenly change their mind stretches credulity to me. The idea that their are also plenty of immoral, monstrous physicians willing to do this upon request also stretches credulity. Has it ever been done unnecessarily? Probably. But I suspect "late term abortion" is mostly a bogeyman used to appeal to people's emotions.
To be clear, i'm not it any way stating its not a big deal simply because it's rare. But it has been used to push this idea that there is an epidemic of "chopping up full term babies".
